A Mesquite family's home was left in shambles when a car pummeled into it over the weekend.

A 17-year-old driving with a friend crashed a red Ford Mustang into the Birminghams' home in the 900 block of Rutherford Drive on Saturday afternoon.

"It looks like a tornado was inside my house," Jimmy Birmingham said while cleaning up rubble strewn all over the house.

Police said the 17-year-old was speeding when he lost control and plowed into the house -- leaving a bumper behind.
